Belthangady : A protest was staged by the Janavadi Mahila Sanghatane
and DYFI, Belhangady unit in front of the taluk office on September
16, Monday urging the government to hand over the Sowjanya case to the
CBI.
Speaking on the occasion, Samatha Bharatha Jnana Vijnana State
Convener and Thinker N Prabha said justice is still not secured in the
Sowjanya case though justice has been done in the Delhi gang rape case.
She deplored the rising cases of atrocities on women.

DYFI State President N L Bharathraj warned that a protest will be
staged in Mangalore on October 9 if the government did not pay heed to
the demand.

Sowjanya’s mother Kusuma said while deploring the failure of the
cops to arrest the real culprits said she was still hoping for justice.

If the judgment in the Delhi gang rape case has been
delivered within nine months of the incident, the CID which is
investigating into the Sowjanya rape and murder case that shook the
entire district , has still not submitted its final report. The investigation agency has said that it needs still more time for that.|

Speaking to The Canara Times, Jagadish, DySP of CID said “ It will take much time to submit the final report.The report will be submitted to the District Court after several rounds of deliberations with higher officials.” “ We cannot set any time frame for the investigation. We are submitting a few reports of the investigation to the court today,” he said.

Two officials of the CID had arrived in Belthangady on September 15, Sunday and were in the district since the past three days bringing in hopes that the report may be submitted soon . But now, the hopes have been dashed.
